The Masked Singer (2019–…): Season 7, Episode 9 - One Mask Hurrah- Round 3 Finals - full transcript

Nick: Tonight, our masked
singers storm the stage

for the round three finals.

It's a gladiator style showdown
between Good, the Prince;

Bad, Queen Cobras;

and a Cuddly Space Bunny.

And with a double unmasking
looming, the heat is on.

Several stars
have already fallen.

Which masks will
be revealed tonight?

♪ Who are you?

♪ Who, who, who

♪ Come on, tell
me, who are you? ♪



♪ Who are you?

Oh!

♪ Who, who, who

♪ Oh, I really wanna know

♪ Who are you?

- Yeah!
- Yes, yes, yes!

Welcome to America's
favorite guessing game,

"The Masked Singer:

The Good, the Bad,
and the Cuddly."

- (Western music
playing) - (squeaking)

Tonight, we finish out
round three of the season.

Our three remaining
singers will take the stage

and sing their hearts out.

Then they'll all come together
and have a second chance



to showcase their
voice side by side

in the final showdown.

- Whoo!
- Oh, my God!

- Robin: Yeah!
- Jenny: Yes!

Tonight we'll have two
celebrity unmaskings,

and our singers are competing

for that last spot
in the season finale

to sing against Firefly
and Ringmaster.

- Can't believe it!
- Now y'all give it up for our panelists.

This is so great!

(laughing)

- Yes!
- Whoo! Yeah!

Now let's check
in with our teams

hanging in out in
their homebases.

Minding their manners
and making good decisions,

it's the Good.

- Robin: Yeah!
- Whoo!

Come on!

Smirking and
lurking, it's the Bad.

Yes! The bad girls!

Soft and lush but clearly
in no rush, the Cuddly,

also down one after losing
Baby Mammoth last week.

- Cuddly!
- Aw.

Nick: Look at that. They are
cuddling all over the place.

Awkward.

All right, behind every masked
singer is a celeb with a story.

Now let's hear the Prince read
from "The Good Book of Fairytales."

And listen, up because clues can
be found anywhere and everywhere.

Prince: Long ago, I was a young toad
who dreamed of escaping my small pond.

Carnegie Hall.

I knew I had something
special to share with the world,

but it felt like no
one was listening.

Sheet music. Writer, songwriter.

So I set off on a journey to
make my little voice heard.

- Oh, is that a plane?
- Well, John Travolta's a pilot.

But people only judged me by
what they saw on the outside.

Why could no one see the
prince I really was on the inside?

I traveled to scary places,

and sometimes felt like turning
around and hopping home.

But I knew I had to wipe
my tears and keep pushing.

After years of struggle,

people finally started to
recognize me for my true talent.

I had finally become the
royalty I always knew I was,

and now I stand before
you, prince of the stage,

king of my castle, and
future winner of Team Good.

Oh, wow.

(scatting)

- Hey!
- Wow!

- Yeah!
- Yes!

- Wow!
- Wow!

Yeah! Yeah!

- Wow.
- Wow.

A little Stevie.

Prince.

- That was extraordinary.
- Wow.

That production was amazing,

and you, Prince,
just filled the stage.

I mean, you have an
unbelievable range,

and this week you was
singing Stevie Wonder?

That was an amazing performance.

- Jenny: Yes.
- I love how, you know,

your three performances
have been very different,

and tonight you really gave
us more of a soulful side.

And, you know, you showed us
everything you got, man, warts and all.

Jenny: Oh, my gosh.

I was a waiting
for a "wart" pun.

- You knew. You knew it was coming.
- I knew it was coming.

Now, Prince, what would making it
to the finale actually mean to you?

You know, I did this show

because I come
from a teeny little town

where I wasn't
always understood.

- Wow.
- And music was my first love.

And over the years,
I've become known

for other things
other than music,

but I wanted to come to a place

where I could tap back
into that original joy.

- Oh.
- You're giving me all the feels.

He's giving me all the feels!

You guys picking up on
anything? What do you guys think?

Well, you know,
with a voice like that,

you've gotta be a boy
bander, and it sounded like

I heard a little bit of
AJ McClean in there.

Also what about JC Chasez?

- I was getting more of a Chasez.
- Yeah!

You wanna know why?
This week I see a watch.

The song, "God Must Have
Spent a Little More Time on You,"

- boy bander, JC!
- Yeah.

That's a good guess,
but thinking about singers

who do Broadway, someone
who's also a movie star,

and if you guys remember
the very first clue package

said reach and bend, right?

Reach and "ben"
might be Ben Platt,

who was also in "Pitch Perfect."

You know what, Robin? I'm
picking up what you're putting down.

- Okay.
- Okay?

I think that this could be
Broadway star and amazing actor

Andrew Rannells, okay?

I know him from
"Book of Mormon."

He actually played the
king, a royal, in "Hamilton."

- Oh.
- I'm a huge fan of him. He's played Carnegie Hall.

There it is. Andrew Rannells.

Look at that. Sherlock Scherzi.

Nick: All right, some great
guesses and a great performance.

Give it up one more time
for his majesty the Prince!

And you can head on back to
homebase and rest on your throne.

He might be our winner.

- Prince has my heart, guys.
- Nick: Tonight...

- Oh, yeah!
- our final round comes to an end.

- So good!
- One will make it to the finale,

and two will unmask.

- Showdown!
- Who will it be?

No way!

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to "The Masked Singer:
the Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly."

- (Western music
playing) - (squeaking)

Team Cuddly is ready
to hit the floor tonight

in hopes of moving
forward into the season finale

to grab that Golden Mask Trophy.

But before we let
him land on this stage,

Space Bunny has
a cuddly tale to tell.

Space Bunny: Wanna hear a little
tale about your friend Space Bunny?

See, I come from a tiny burrow
where time seem to slow down.

Everyone lived off the land
and danced in the streets.

I loved it there.

- It's a crown.
- Crown.

But when my mom moved
us to a fast-paced city,

I didn't wanna forget
where we came from.

So I left a trail
of carrot crumbs.

I was young and my new
friends were turning into baddies.

- Boom box.
- Boom box?

Boomy.

But no one was gonna trick me.

I stayed on my path

and became the tough but
cute field rabbit you see today.

It was sometimes intimidating.

Drill. Drill bit.

But as long as I
knew how to get home,

I always felt warm and fuzzy.

That trail of crumbs
is still behind me,

but I'm not going home yet.

This space bunny is ready to go

where no Cuddly
has gone before...

The finals.

- Nicole: That was amazing!
- Ken: Outstanding!

Space Bunny with
a little '90s hip-hop.

Ken: Yes! That was outstanding!

It was so good. You
were in your element.

- There you go, Ken!
- Thank you, Space Bunny!

(laughing)

I hope you're the one to
represent us Cuddlies in the finale.

Robin: Yeah!

- ♪ Go, Cuddlies, go,
Cuddlies - Yeah! Yeah!

Clearly you're talented, man.

How are you feeling
after that performance?

I'm feeling great, man.
It's good to be here.

I'm just trying to
get some bling, man.

Where'd you get that bling, man?

I want that bling, son.

I feel like he about
to rob me up here.

- I think I got a feeling I know who this is.
- You know what?

Oh, gosh, you know, the
clue said, "On island time,"

and it made me think
of Sean Kingston.

- Yeah.
- Jenny: You know?

And there was a Mega Clue
we had in the last episode.

It was giant dumbbell, and
he actually announced that

he's launching a professional
boxing league for rappers,

which is awesome!

I would totally go.

And then tonight,
we see a crown.

King-ston.

- Oh!
- Thank you very much!

Sean Kingston, welcome
to "The Masked Singer."

Man, I won't lie to
you. I saw that crown,

and it just took me
off to another direction.

I was like, crown?

I'm thinking someone who starred
in "Royal Tenenbaums," the crown.

Space Bunny has
gotta be Owen Wilson.

- (crowd jeering)
- Let me finish.

Stop booing!

There was a dog
before in the clue,

and Owen Wilson had
starred in "Marley and Me."

So it's all... yes! Now you're
coming on Team Cuddly.

Come aboard the
Cuddly Train. Choo-choo!

So this definitely Owen Wilson.

Yes.

Robin: Yeah, I don't
know about that.

So from the first time that
Space Bunny performed,

we got a Caribbean
flavor, right?

So we've been on Sean Paul,
but there were some new clues

tonight that go with some
of the first clue package.

The first clue package
had a red handprint, right?

Caught red-handed,
we had mentioned that.

But today there was a
boom box for "Boombastic."

There are two
angels in the package.

Another one of his
most famous songs...

- ♪ You're my darling angel
- That's gotta be Shaggy.

- Oh! Good guess!
- Wow.

- Robin: That's gotta be Shaggy.
- ♪ Mr. Lover, Lover

♪ Boombastic,
brother, fantastic ♪

- (vocalizing)
- ♪ Ro, ro

- Jenny: Ha-ha! I love it!
- Nicole: Okay.

Well, you know what? We're having a
lot of fun with the Space Bunny, right?

- Yeah. Party.
- And that's what this show is all about.

Space Bunny, you
just set the stage on fire.

So you go back to the
homebase and cool off.

Y'all keep it going
for the Space Bunny.

We're hitting the road
right after this season ends.

The Masked Singer National
Tour is coming to a city near you

with your favorite characters
brought to life live onstage

including season
six's Spicy Pepper,

Natasha Bedingfield,
as our host.

Plus a mystery celebrity will
be unmasked in every city.

- ♪ Who is that?
- Whoo!

Welcome to the best kept
secret, "The Masked Singer."

Before the break, the Prince
had us feeling it all over,

and Space Bunny
found love with the world,

but now the Queen Cobras
get a crack at the chance

to take the final spot
in the season finale.

- Yes!
- But first, let's hear a "bad time" story

from our Queen Cobras.

Queen Cobra: Once upon a time, we were
three queens from very different worlds.

Each of us with a
wicked amount of talent.

- Charlie's Angels.
- That means there's three now?

And full of enough dark magic...

- Chili peppers.
- TLC.

To put a spell on
any Good or Cuddly.

We all tried different
things to find success.

- Mariah, Celine, and Ariana.
- There's some divas up there.

But it wasn't until
fate stepped in

that we discovered
our greatest strength.

All: Each other!

With our forces combined,

we became the baddest of baddies

and nothing could
stand in our way.

Who wants just one prince

when you can have
three queens in the finals?

Robin: Yeah!

Wow, and then there was three.

I'm amazed and confused
all at the same time.

That performance was smoking.

Wow, I was a fan
when there was one,

I was a fan when there
was two, and I'm still a fan.

You guys are my favorite
singers this season.

From the solos to the
blending of the harmonies,

just outstanding. Thank you.

All right, now, Queen Cobras,

we have learned a little bit
about your fairy bad time story,

but what's your
favorite fairy tale?

I think we'd all say "The Wiz."

- Oh!
- "The Wiz."

Wow, that's Diana Ross.

We have our weaknesses,
but we walk together

down that yellow brick road.

So that we can
bang down the door.

- That helped you, Ken?
- Yes, it did.

She said "bang, "wizard."

You know who's starring in the movie
adaption of "Wicked" is Ariana Grande.

And when she said
"bang," she also did

one of my favorite
songs, "Bang Bang."

And three people
sung "Bang Bang."

The second person, Jessie J,
has a song called "Price Tag,"

and sang "Bang Bang."

Now you feel me?

Oh, but we need
the third person.

Okay. Last week
there was a heart,

and the person who wrote
and sang "Buy a Heart,"

Nicki Minaj, Jessie
J, Ariana Grande.

"Bang Bang!" I win!

Oh, my gosh, Ken.

Don't clap for that.

- (laughing)
- Okay.

So one of the first
clues was 1990,

so we've been assuming this has
been a popular group from the 1990s.

When I saw them just perform,

I remembered one
of my favorite groups

from the 1990s that
we haven't mentioned...

The S-S double-W to V-V.

- Hey!
- Okay, okay.

And the thinking man,

they have a song called
"You are Always on my Mind."

- That's right.
- Yeah.

Three incredible soulful
singers, this might be SWV.

- Ken: Nice.
- Nicole: Yeah.

Ken: I love that guess.

All right, Nicole, what you got?

Okay, so we've been
on the '90s girl group tip,

and, y'all, after listening
to those harmonies

and those beautiful vocals,
I think I know who it is.

If you just...

♪ Free your mind

then you will understand
the thinking man statue.

Oh, yeah!

Last week, our Mega
Clue was a heart.

They have a song
called "Don't Let Go."

The actual song
title is called "Love."

Don't worry, Ken. ♪ You're never
gonna get it, you're never gonna get it ♪

You guys, this is En Vogue!

Ken: Oh!

Nicole, I like the
way you think.

Y'all feeling that?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

Well, one thing we
were definitely feeling

was that outstanding
performance.

Y'all keep it going
for the Queen Cobras.

All right, Queens, now you
guys head on back to homebase.

The final showdown is next.

Which two singers
will be unmasked,

and who will take the final
spot in our season finale?

Hey, it's me, Miss Masky.

I'm here to spill the tea.

It's time to check out
our Masked Singer NFTs.

Nick: As we near
our final unmaskings,

find out which costume had
to be completely destroyed

at the last minute
for their reveal.

We are Penn and Teller!

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to
"The Masked Singer:

the Good, the Bad,
and the Cuddly."

- (Western music
playing) - (squeaking)

It's showdown time!

- Showdown!
- It's our final showdown

to see who fills
the last finale spot.

For Team Good, jumping
headfirst into the ring,

- it's the Prince.
- Team Good, baby!

Nick: For Team Bad,
ganging up on all the others,

it's Queen Cobras.

- Yes!
- And for Cuddly,

he'll knock you
straight to the moon.

It's Space Bunny.

Ken: Come on, Space Bunny!

I want you to win this
thing for Team Cuddly.

- Team Cuddles!

Really good chemistry.

Wow. That was awesome.

- I am so blown away.
- Wow.

Whoo!

- Wow.
- Mind boom!

Panel, how was that performance?

I'm totally freaking out.

You guys need to go on tour
together or come out with an album.

I did not want that to
end. Wasn't it amazing?

- Nicole: It felt so good.
- Wow!

It's so hard because
everybody has an amazing voice,

but their own voice, really
different tones and textures,

so I don't know
what we're gonna do.

I know. To pick one of who's
gonna make it to the final is so hard.

- Yeah.
- Ken: Yes.

It is a legit three-way contest

where two people are
gonna be eliminated.

Nicole: Yes.

I don't know how
you're gonna choose.

That was so much fun,

and seeing them all
do their thing together,

I mean, it was really
special for us, right?

That's what it's all about.

But it's time for the vote

that will send two
mystery singers home.

Queen Cobras, Space Bunny,
and the Prince have put a good fight,

but there is one spot
remaining in the season finale.

Team Good is sending two representatives
so far with Firefly and Ringmaster.

Will they send a third,

or will Team Bad or
Cuddly break that party up?

Panel, audience, vote now for
your favorite solo performance.

The singers' masked
lives are now in your hands.

The two singers with
the least amount of votes

will be forced to unmask.

The first mystery celebrity
singer going home is...

No, no. Let's just
change the rules.

Going to be revealed
right after the break.

- Oh, boo!
- Old Trick Cannon.

You're just delaying the pain!

We got two
unmaskings to do, y'all.

So don't go anywhere.

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to
"The Masked Singer."

Three very talented
singers stand before you.

They've been fighting for a chance to
grab that coveted Golden Mask Trophy,

but only one mystery singer
can advance to the season finale.

Good luck, everyone.

The first singer
eliminated tonight is...

This is not okay
with me right now.

Space Bunny.

- Aw!
- Oh, my God, Space Bunny!

Keep it going for
Space Bunny, y'all.

The Prince and Queen Cobras
are still in the game for now.

Go take a moment in
your homebases, please.

Oh, that hurts.

Space Bunny!

Nick and Ken: Space
Bunny, Space Bunny!

Come on over here, Space Bunny.

He's so cute.

All right, we love the
Space Bunny, don't we?

Panel, who do you think is
under this Space Bunny mask?

Well, first of all, Space
Bunny, I just wanna say

- just outstanding job.
- Yes.

Entertaining
from start to finish.

But this is an amazing performer

that can morph
into a Space Bunny,

like, morphing,
like, he was in "Loki."

Because he had the crown,
"The Royal Tenenbaums."

An amazing actor.
This is Owen Wilson.

Nicole: Wow.

Wait, does Owen
Wilson sing reggae?

This... wait. This is his coming out
reggae party on "The Masked Singer!"

Ah! The album
comes out after this.

Nick: All right,
who's next? Jenny.

Well, I did start
off a little rusty

because I initially thought
this could be LL Cool J.

You know, "I'm Gonna Knock You
Out." There was a dumbbell clue.

And then I got the
island time feeling.

And then when I saw that crown,

I said, "That's confirmation."

This has to be Sean Kingston.

Ken: Great guess.

Nick: Robin, what you got?

Definitely from the very
first time you performed

with "Jump in the Line," and
then even the second song,

"All Night Long" by Lionel
Richie has a very Caribbean feel.

So I really do believe that
he's representing his roots

with those choices of songs.

So I think it is the amazing

and the extremely funny
and entertaining Shaggy.

That's a good guess right there,
Robin. Nicole, what you got?

I'm feeling what Robin's saying.

If I have to pick one, Nick,

with the boom box,
the "Boombastic,"

the angel from his song,
"Angel," my darling angel,

and the furry dog!

Come on, now. Shaggy.

- Robin: Shaggy!
- All right, panel,

you've made your final guesses.

Let's see if any
of you are correct.

Who's behind the mask?
Audience, say it with me.

Take it off.

All: Take it off! Take it off!

Take it off! Take it off!

♪ Who are you?

Take it off, Shaggy!

♪ I really wanna know

Aah! I need to know who this is!

♪ Come on, tell
me, who are you? ♪

- ♪ You, you - Oh!

♪ Who are you?

Grammy-award winning
superstar Shaggy!

- There he is!
- (cheering)

- Yes!
- It's going down up in here.

- Yes!
- We caught him red-handed.

Yeah, Shaggy!

What took y'all so long, yo?

Come on! Ken, I
was just on your show!

I know!

Now that's got the Space
Bunny head, he is free.

- He's turnt up. This is the Shaggy we know.
- He can move.

Ay!

The cool thing is that you
actually played the game.

You disguised your
voice every single time.

- Yeah.
- He did.

Because you have
such a distinct voice.

Oh, yeah, I mean... I remember
when I was doing it first,

I was like, "I can't use
my original singing voice."

- Because...
- Robin: Right.

If I was like, ♪
Lover, lover, boombastic

- ♪ Mr. Boombastic - (cheering)

And then Robin, he was like,
"You know, I think it's Shaggy,

but I'm not hearing that
distinctive Shaggy sound."

- Right, right.
- Nicole: But that's why I'm so happy

you did come on
the show, Shaggy,

because you reminded me of T-Pain
when he came out, you know, as Monster.

Like, I mean, I've done
so many songs with you,

but I didn't even know you had
that... you have a beautiful voice.

Well, thank you very much.

One thing about being a
performer, it's really about,

you know, your facial
expressions, the look.

Give it! Oh, don't hurt
'em. Don't hurt 'em now.

Shaggy: I mean, but
with the suit and the head,

you really can't show your...

I mean, so I had to do all
kind of... I was wiggling my butt.

I was like, yo, I'm
gonna be animated.

Yo, what's up? Yeah, yo, yo!

Pshew! Aw, yeah, let's go.

Don't we love him?

Love you, Shaggy!

To sing one last time
unmasked once and for all,

the artist formerly
known as Space Bunny,

- give it up for Shaggy!
- Robin: Yeah!

Here we go! Get up!
Get up, get up, get up!

- Get up, get up, get up!
- Oh!

- Ay!
- Oh, my God.

- Yes!
- Yeah!

Ladies and gentlemen, Shaggy!

Robin: Yeah!

- Shaggy!
- That was so fun! We needed that.

Next, it's between
Queen Cobras and Prince.

Who will go to the finale
and who will be unmasked?

Welcome back to
"The Masked Singer."

- Yeah!
- Ken: Yeah!

Nick: Space Bunny
was just unmasked.

Two singers are left standing,
but there's only room for one

to take the last spot
in our season finale.

Wow.

The second singer getting
unmasked tonight is...

- Ken: Oh. Uh-oh.
- Jenny: This is really hard.

I don't want this.

Either one of these acts
could've gone to the finals.

- Nicole: Yeah.
- Ken: Yeah. Ugh.

Nicole: This is really hard.

Queen Cobras.

- Oh, my God! No way!
- Aw.

Nick: Keep it going for the Queen
Cobras, ladies and gentlemen.

Make some noise! Come
on, make some noise.

Nick: Which means, the Prince,

you have grabbed that
last spot in the season finale.

Congratulations. How does it feel
to be going to the season finale?

I'm so proud of
myself. I'm so excited.

I did what I came to do,

and that is show my heart

and just be in this
incredible experience

with incredible artists
like we have over here.

Nick: Keep it
going for the Prince.

Wow. So humble.

- He's so... -
He's a true prince.

Yeah, he is a true prince.

Nick: We can't wait to
see you in our grand finale.

Come on down here, ladies.

We are so sorry that you guys
are leaving our competition.

I'm very upset right now.

Yeah.

But we are super excited to
see who's up under those masks.

- Whoo!
- Robin: Yes.

Nick: But before we get
to our take it off moment,

we gotta hear
your final guesses.

- You guys ready?
- Yes.

Well, first of all, this
was really, really tough,

and you guys are so
amazing. Everyone's a winner.

- You guys are just outstanding.
- Seriously.

Ken: Seriously.

But let's get back
to my journey.

At first thinking Anne Hathaway,

but this time there were three.

So because of
"Wicked," Ariana Grande;

a price tag, Jessie J;

and last week's Mega
Clue, a heart, "Buy a Heart,"

Nicki Minaj.

I believe this is Ariana
Grande, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj.

Bang, bang, I win!

- Bang, bang, bang!
- Bang, bang.

Nick: All right. Nicole? I'm
gonna double down, Nick.

- Double away.
- I think it's En Vogue.

You know, we
saw the rocket clue.

They have a song
called "Rocket."

And the thinker statue, right?

With the price tag. It's
free. "Free Your Mind."

- Right?
- Those vocals, I grew up

as a little girl
listening to them,

and it would be an honor
if they were on our stage,

so I'm really hoping
that it's En Vogue.

Nick: All right.

Jenny?

Your voices are
just so incredible,

and the clue we saw was a bat.

And you guys were
in "Batman Forever."

- Yeah.
- I agree with Nicole.

I'm doubling down, of
course, on En Vogue.

- Nick: All right.
- Robin: Whoo!

Robin, what you got?

There were clues
about the thinking statue.

I'm thinking "You were Always
on My Mind" was one of their hits,

so I'm gonna go with
S-S double-W to V-V.

Got you. SWV, all right.

All right, the panel has
made their final guesses.

Let's see if any
of them are close.

You guys ready to find
out who's behind the mask?

- Yeah! Yeah!
- Audience, say it with me.

All:

Take it off! Take it off!

- What is it?
- Take it off!

All: Take it off! Take it off!

- Come on!
- ♪ I really wanna know

Take it off! Take it off!

Aw, it's killing
me. Who is this?

Oh, my gosh. Who is it?

- Oh, no!
- ♪ Who are you?

One of the most famous
girl groups of all time,

- En Vogue!
- Oh, my God!

- Oh!
- Ken: Oh, my God.

- Nicole: Wow.
- Nick: Seven-time Grammy nominees,

platinum-selling
recording artists,

- and all-around queens.
- Oh, yeah!

- Wow.
- Wow.

- Nicole: Oh, my God.
- Robin: Wow.

I'm dying right now.

Nick: I mean, come on. You
guys seen the talent level up here.

- Robin: Wow.
- Jenny: Insane.

This is a special
moment for me personally.

- Talk to them, Robin.
- Man, you know, I grew up...

I studied the harmonies,
I watched the videos.

- Thank you.
- Your voices, your records, those harmonies,

they stand up to
the test of time.

- Thank you so much for blessing us by coming on this show.
- Nicole: Yeah.

- Robin: We're so grateful.
- Both: Thank you.

So now we must
talk to you ladies.

I mean, you guys have
performed all over the world.

How does a stage like this compare to
anything else you guys have ever done?

Well, it's very
different for us,

and we loved coming on here

because it took us out of
our comfort zone, honestly.

It was challenge
singing in the costumes,

but it's also like singing
in fantasy land, you know?

- Yeah.
- Nicole: Yeah.

It's such a great show,

and it was just a
great experience for us.

- It was.
- And so we're grateful.

Y'all are the best
group, the best,

most female-empowering
group ever.

- For sure.
- I feel that.

- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- I listen to your music,

those lyrics, those vocals.

Still to this day the
best hands down,

and I'm just trying to
put my words together

- and not freak out in front of you all.
- I know.

- I love you so much. So much respect.
- Thank you.

Yeah, speaking putting and
keeping your words together,

- for seasons this man...
- Sorry, sorry.

Has butchered the name

of one of the most iconic

women groups of all time

by calling you guys "On Vogue."

Ken, pay your respects!

- I pay my respects.
- Yes.

I'm humbly apologizing for
mispronouncing your name.

- You didn't mispronounce it.
- You didn't.

- Ken: Thank you!
- That's how they say it in Europe.

See? It's European, Nick Cannon!

'Cause they're global like that!

Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time...

And thank you to everybody
at home. Thank you.

Nick: for the Queen Cobras.

Thank you so
much for being here.

- Yeah!
- That's it!

The good have prevailed.

Firefly, Ringmaster,
and the Prince

will battle it out to be named
the last mask standing.

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Yes!
- The next time we see them perform

will be in the season
finale in a few weeks.

- But before that, you know what we gotta do.
- Whoo!

Here to perform
unmasked once and for all...

the artists formerly
known as the Queen Cobras,

give it up for the
legendary En Vogue!

Whoo!
